Things to watch (12)
From the version posted Oct 22, 2026.
- Serious: Agency requirements are not posted. The 93-page agency requirements exhibit holds sensitive details and goes only to firms that GSA's broker verifies have a business need; request it before deciding to bid.
- Serious: SCIF and cleared construction workers. The lease covers secure space built to Intelligence Community Directive 705 standards, with U.S.-person and SECRET or Top Secret cleared construction staff, which a small lessor may struggle to staff.
- Serious: Only qualifying buildings in a set area. The building must sit in the delineated area and offer contiguous space, reserved parking, a generator pad and a location outside the 1-percent-annual chance floodplain.
Show all 12Show fewer
- Serious: No deviations allowed. GSA may award without discussions, and an initial proposal with deviations from the General Clauses or lease terms is non-compliant, so the first offer must be the best and clean.
- Worth checking: Security level stated two ways. The notice says Interagency Security Committee Level III, while the exhibits set Facility Security Level IV with a deviations matrix (a scanned file, attached but not read); ask the contracting officer which governs.
- Worth checking: Parking terms differ. The notice lets the extra 314 spaces be on-site or commercially available within 1,320 walkable linear feet, but the RLP says a minimum of 314 spaces must be on-site.
- Worth checking: Award basis stated two ways. The RLP awards to the lowest priced technically acceptable offer, while the solicitation provisions describe a best value award; ask the contracting officer which applies.
- Worth checking: Broker commission agreement due with the offer. An executed commission agreement with GSA's broker, Savills Inc., must go in with the initial offer, and the lessor pays the commission.
- Worth checking: Fire safety report for the building. Form 12000 is required, and offered space on the 6th floor or higher needs a report by a professional engineer, which adds cost before award.
- Worth checking: Tenant improvements and security work after award. The lessor designs and builds tenant improvements to a final design set after award, so costs are not fully known when pricing the offer.
- Minor: Vending facility space. About 250 ABOA square feet goes to a Randolph-Sheppard vending facility, with the lessor providing utilities and alterations at tenant improvement cost.
- Minor: HUBZone price preference. A HUBZone small business may waive the price evaluation preference on Form 1364; other firms should expect a competitor to have it.
